<B>Sides:</B> The number or sides,
or corners, this shape will have. &nbsp;If you have <b>Create Regular Shape</b> checked, the game will plot a regular figure (all sides equal).&nbsp; Otherwise, this it the number of points you can manually set using the <B>Set</B> button.</font></P>  <P><font face="Arial" size="2"> <B>Points to plot:&nbsp; </B>This is the number of randomly generated points to plot each time the <B>Plot</B> button is pressed.&nbsp; The more points you plot, the more filled in the image will be.</font></P>  <P><font face="Arial" size="2"> 
<B>Divisor:</B>&nbsp; This number determines how far to go towards the next random point. &nbsp;For a triangle, 2 and
0.667 are the most dramatic. &nbsp;Since this is the divisor, 2 means 1/2 and
0.667 means 1/0.667 or 1.5.&nbsp; You can play with this number to get different patterns. &nbsp;See the
<a HREF="Examples.htm">examples</a> for some screen shots that use different values for the divisor.</font></P>  <P><font face="Arial" size="2"> 
<B>Use marker on set points:&nbsp; </B>If this is checked, each corner of the figure will be marked with 'x' marker and the randomly picked starting point for each plot will be marked with a asterisk-type marker.&nbsp; This feature is useful when initially playing the game to see how the points are selected.</font></P>  <P><font face="Arial" size="2"><b>Create
Regular Shape:</b> &nbsp;This disables the <B>Set</B>  button and will set the
corners of the figure before each plot. &nbsp;</font></P>  
<blockquote>
  <P><font face="Arial" size="2"> 
  Regular Shape </b>is checked.&nbsp; This determines how big the regular figure should be.&nbsp;
  This can be thought of as zoom.</font></P>  
</blockquote>
  <P><font face="Arial" size="2"> 
<B>Foreground and Background buttons:&nbsp; </B>As you can guess, these buttons pull up dialogs for setting the plotting colors. &nbsp;The background color does not come into play unless you use the <B>Clear</B> 
  toolbar button.&nbsp; The new colors do not become effective until you press <B>OK </B>or <B>Apply </B></font></P>  <P><font face="Arial" size="2"> <B> OK and Apply buttons:&nbsp; </B>Commit any changes you've made in this dialog or in the color dialogs.&nbsp; The <B>Apply </B>button leaves this
dialog up so you can do a plot, adjust and plot without pulling it up each time.&nbsp; The <B>OK</B> button commits the changes and closes the dialog.&nbsp;
</font></P>   

<P><font face="Arial" size="2"><b>Cancel/Close button:</b>&nbsp; This will close
the dialog.&nbsp; You will lose any changes you've made since the last time you
pressed <b>Apply</b>.</font></P>
